Working method is as follows:
(i) Restore the simulation of filtrate by rock
These stages are necessary:
1) sets up starting condition
Porous medium must with the similar condition of oil reservoir under.So core sample must be used salt solution, use oil saturated then;
(a) use the salt solution saturated rock: saturated in vacuum drier core sample, the confining pressure of passing through 2MPa then, and with 10 the crust pore pressure with 10cm 3/ h is to wherein feeding salt solution (40g/l NaCl, 5g/l KCl) 48 hours.
(b) measure the brinish rate of permeation: with different flows (Q:300,200,100cm 3/ h) make salt solution pass through core sample, and be determined at the pressure difference (Δ P) between the porous medium two ends.The slope of line Q=f (Δ P) makes and can calculate rock to brinish rate of permeation Kw (with millidarcy (milliDarcy) expression).
(c) measure rate of permeation: with 10cm to oil 3/ h injected SOLTROL 130  oil (by the refining oil that Phillips Chemical Co. sells, 80 ℃ of viscosity are 0.7mPas) 24 hours, then gradually from 100cm 3/ h gradually augmented flow to 500cm 3/ h.The volume of collected water makes oil and the water saturation rate (So) and (Sw) can calculated.
Make then oil with different flows (300,200,100cm 3/ h) by core sample, and measure pressure differential deltap P.The slope of line Q=f (Δ P) makes and can calculate the rate of permeation Ko (with millidarcy (milliDarcy) expression) of rock to oil.
2) filtrate is invaded the stage:
The simulation filtrate solution (salt solution or salt solution+additive or salt solution+polymkeric substance or salt solution+polymer+additive) with 10cm 3/ h injects.The volume of collected oil makes can calculate new water and oil saturation.
3) well is produced the dummy run phase:
By with 10cm 3/ h adverse current is injected oil (i.e. the reverse direction that injects with filtrate) simulation and is produced beginning.The volume of collected water makes can calculate new water and oil saturation Sw and So.Make then oil with different flow (300,200,100cm 3/ h) by core sample, and measure pressure differential deltap P.The slope of line Q=f (Δ P) makes can calculate the rate of permeation K of rock to oil O1(representing) with mD.
(ii) Water-based mud is by the filtration of rock
1. set up starting condition: as preceding carrying out.
2. dynamic filtration (600s under pressure (3.5MPa) and temperature -1):
In case saturated under reservoir condition, just core sample is placed in the dynamic filtration unit.Filter water-based mud then, and in filtration procedure, form inside and outside filter cake.This experiment no longer is that the simple analog filtrate is passed through core sample more near physical condition because of actual water-based mud filtrate.
3) oil well production:
Then core sample is transferred in the Hassler unit, injected that oil is measured the saturation ratio of water and oil as previously mentioned and to the recovery rate of permeation of oil by adverse current. Embodiment 1: saturation ratio changes (salt solution and salt solution+additive)
This experiment is to inject the salt solution that wherein adds or do not add according to additive of the present invention in the presence of the You Heshui under Swi (initial water saturation ratio) condition (type (i) test) in saturated in advance porous medium.
The result provides in following table:

Brine saturation ????100
The injection of oil ????18.1 ????775 Starting condition
After filtrate is injected (absorption) ????55.5
After the Soltrol  oil adverse current ????15.8 ????850
Wherein:
-Sw is water saturation (per-cent of contained water in volume of voids)
-Ko (represents that with SI units conversion factor is: 1 darcy=9.87 * 10 with the core sample that millidarcy is represented to the rate of permeation of oil -13m 2).
Exist in salt solution under the condition of PG8/10 additive of 0.1g/l, the result becomes:

Brine saturation ????100
The injection of oil ????16 ????630 Starting condition
After filtrate is injected (absorption) ????36.7
After the Soltrol  oil adverse current ????0 ????763
These leach test and show that the adding of the PG8/10 additive of 0.1g/l can be removed most of residual water.Add additive to the salt solution that injects porous medium and therefore can change saturation ratio, therefore cause higher oily saturation ratio by the displacement residual water.Should be noted that the rate of permeation to oil also increases after adverse current. Embodiment 2: saturation ratio changes (salt solution that contains polymkeric substance in addition)
Exist 0.5g/l polymkeric substance (polyacrylamide PAM) to carry out identical experiment under with actual composition near the water-based mud filtrate.Under the PAM Individual existence, residual water saturation does not change.But, since polymkeric substance on rock absorption and because the polymer material grain to the obstruction of its hole, makes oily permeability reduction.From following examples, as can be seen, when adding PG8/10, most of residual water have been replaced.Shall also be noted that rock oily rate of permeation reduce than Individual existence PAM the time littler.

Can sum up, even in the presence of polymkeric substance, the adding of PG8/10 has been removed most of residual water and has been limited the reduction of oily rate of permeation.
Embodiment 3: saturation ratio changes (prescription fully)
Near physical condition, carry out dynamic filtration for more, simulate rebulid (type is (ii) tested) of oil well production then.The water-based mud prescription is called FLOPRO, and it is sold by MI DrillingFluids Company (USA).
It is composed as follows:
FLOVIS : 6g/l (xanthan gum-tackifier)

To these experiment confirms of carrying out of prescription fully, about saturation ratio obtained good result (saturation ratio of residual water is 29% after oily adverse current in the presence of the PG8/10 of 1g/l, with do not have additive 53% opposite).
Embodiment 4: the sprawling of drop
Purpose is to show that additive is to effect on rock wettability.For this purpose, observe sprawling on the rock surface (Claschach sandstone) that oil droplet floods in the salt brine solution that contains or do not contain according to additive of the present invention.
Experimental installation (Fig. 2) is to contain the aqueous solution 11 (40g/l NaCl, 5g/l KCl), rock support body 12, petrographic thin section 13 and with the crystallizer 10 of priming can 15 sedimentary oil droplets 14 (Soltrol ).
Working method is as follows: the thin slice of Claschach sandrock-type rock is suspended in contains or do not contain in the salt brine solution of additive.Behind about 40 seconds of dipping, introduce the Soltrol  drop of using the Sudan's blue stain at rock surface with pin.In solution, contain then or do not contain according to the formation of observing drop under the additive of the present invention.
In independent salt solution, oil droplet is circular and does not sprawl (Fig. 2).Therefore rock is preferentially by water-wet.Concentration is under the situation of 0.3g/l PG8/10 from salt solution, observe oil droplet and spread on the rock, itself in addition be penetrated in the rock with the active result of 2g/l.These tests are undeclared at this, confirmed that PG8/10 has improved the glossy moist of rock.
Measure surface tension (salt solution/air) and interfacial tension (salt solution/Soltrol) at 25 ℃.Used salt solution contains 40g/l NaCl and 5g/l KC1.During without additive, salt solution/air surface tension force is 72mN/m.During with the 100ppm additive, it is reduced to 25mN/m.When not having additive, salt solution/Soltrol interfacial tension is 38mN/m.During with the 10ppm additive, it is reduced to 19mN/m, reaches 14mN/m during with the 15ppm additive.These results show, PG8/10 has certain interfacial activity, because for the lower concentration less than the CMC (micelle-forming concentration, it is about 100ppm) of PG8/10, it can make the surface tension of water be reduced to 25mN/m, salt solution/Soltrol interfacial tension lowering to 14mN/m.
Embodiment 5: the test on long core sample
Damage simulation test by the oil reservoir that on the long rock sample of 40cm, carries out and show efficient of the present invention.The details of test can be found in following document: " PerformanceEvaluation and Formation Damage Potential of New Water BasedDrilling Formulations ", Argillier J-F, Audibert A., LongeronD.SPE Drilling and Completion, 14, No.4,266-273,1999.Used rock is the Claschach sandstone with following composition: 94.7% quartz, 2.6% potassium felspar sand, 0.5% chlorite and 0.7% illite (comprising mica).The condition that sample stood is called residual water saturation (Swi), its by vacuumize, with the salt water saturation, inject Soltrol130  oil (about 10 volume of voids) then and obtain.The oily rate of permeation of working sample (Ko when Swi) then.Rock sample is contacted with drilling fluid and/or workover fluid along the sample previous cycles under the following conditions: by pressure is raise from 0.35 to 2MPa, be stabilized in 2MPa then, this moment, mud was with 5 liters/minute flow circulation.In filtration procedure, produce oil in the sample end, be equivalent to core sample and invaded by the mud filtrate.Spill promptly when first filtrate come out in the core sample end in filtrate, stop test.
Here used mud is to be contained by the preparation of MI Drilling Fluids (USA) sale and its: 6g/l Flovis  (xanthan gum), 7g/l Flotrol  (starch), 20g/lNaCl, 20g/l KCl and 360g/l lime carbonate (test 1), and to wherein adding 0.1g/lPG8/10 (test 2).
In the table hereinafter in order to contrast the result that these two tests are provided:
Table 7
Test 1 Test 2
Porosity, φ (%) ????16.3 ????16.1
Gas permeability, kg (mD) ????685 ????546
The water rate of permeation, Kw (mD) ????533 ????416
Oily rate of permeation during Swi, Koi (mD) ????452 ????281
Oily rate of permeation after the adverse current, Koi (mD) ????176 ????206
The rate of permeation RP that % recovers ????39 ????73
Sw (%) after the adverse current ????27.8 ????29.5
We observe the rate of permeation of recovering (after adverse current) when adding PG8/10 in mud obviously different, particularly in initial several centimetres of core samples.This shows that under the situation of the mud that has additive, in counter-current process, it is easier to be saturated with oil that porous medium becomes again.Therefore, the additive that filtrate is carried secretly preferentially stops up absorption position, limits the absorption/reservation of contained polymkeric substance in the mud thus, and therefore the filtrate that is entered in the porous medium is carried secretly.This has limited obstruction or the contraction of polymkeric substance to hole, has therefore improved oily perviousness.
Embodiment 6: additive passes through filter cake
Owing to add additive in drilling fluid or workover fluid, it must infiltrate permeability rock rock stratum.Under the situation of drilling fluid, it is essential that molecule can enter filtrate by filter cake.So research molecule passing through from filter cake.(70g/l GREEN BOND  is by the wilkinite of SBF company sale at GREEN BOND in the test that below provides; 1g/l PAC LV, a kind of anionic low-viscosity cellulose polymkeric substance; 1g/l NaCl) and on the FLOPRO mud (embodiment 3) carry out.
At first, the centrifugal described mud that contains or do not contain PG8/10 is determined the absorption on clay of PG8/10 and polymkeric substance.Also mud filter 23 0 minute under 0.7MPa and room temperature.All solution that obtain are analyzed through TOC, with definite material balance of representing with the ppm of carbon.In order to determine the dependency between the ppm of the ppm of molecule and carbon, obtained the PG8/10 working curve.
For Green Bond  mud, the result shows that 35% GP8/10 is adsorbed on the clay, and remaining 65%, 84% passes through filter cake.
For Flopro  mud, material balance is more complicated, because exist the contributive polymkeric substance of the carbon value of being surveyed in the filtrate.Nonetheless, when using PG8/10, in filtrate, there is the unexpected increase of carbon, mainly due to there being PG8/10 in the filtrate.
Therefore these test shows, part PG8/10 molecule can be used for improving the saturation ratio at the oil rock layer by filter cake.
Embodiment 7: with the consistency of drilling mud component
Measure the consistency of various components in this product and the mud.For this purpose, studied the character that contains additive mud by rheology with leaching.
For at the Green Bond  that contains or do not contain PG8/10 and Flopro  mud, this result of study of (P-V) is summarised in the following table after (A-V) and the ageing before ageing:
